Android 16 KB Page Size support

[mrbrentkelly]

Updates pdfiumandroid and gson dependencies on Android so that the react-native-pdf library is compliant with the 16 KB Page Size requirement.

Note: This PR contributes back the existing patch from @abitling 🎩.

Related issues:

• Android 16 Kb page support #934
• Crash on Android 15 (SDK 35) with 16KB page alignment: libpdfiumandroid.so fails to load due to missing hash section #947
• Android 15 - 16 KB Page Size Support #948

@mrbrentkelly Please release the latest code to npm.

[Winfans]

Hi, when will the latest code be released?

[jenskuhrjorgensen]

Hi @wonday
There are quite a few critical fixes for this lib that still awaits a release (#950, #927 and #926). Is there anything we can do in order to get those fixes released instead of piling them up as patches?

[Stan-1904]

Is there any chance of a release for the 16KB issue before November 1st? Otherwise, I'll start replacing the library in my app now. I'd also be willing to support the development.

@Stan-1904 - Create a patch file and install it.

It works for me.

[Stan-1904]

@Gautham495 Thank you for your message. I am working with Expo in the Managed Workflow. Unfortunately, this exceeds my technical knowledge.

[Gautham495]

@Stan-1904 - It should be straight forward even for expo based projects.

You can DM me in either - Twitter, LinkedIn or send me an email.

I will explain how to implement patches in expo based project as well.
